time to begin [n.h]

twenty-five; food fights

 “Over there,” I whisper to Niall. We were all on teams of two. Niall and I are together, Harry and Maddy are together, Zayn and Louis are together, and Liam and Clark are together. So far everyone was out except Niall and I, Louis, Harry and Clark.

The two of us were hiding behind some bushes, keeping an eye on everyone around us. I spotted Harry walking around slowly, looking in every direction so he wouldn’t get shot. But since Niall and I were such good hiders, he didn’t see us. Niall props his gun up and keeps it pointed at Harry. He shoots and hits Harry right in the chest.

“God dammit!” He shouts dramatically before falling to the floor. “Tell my mum I love her!’

I stifle a laugh and watch Harry make his “death” more dramatic than it should have been.

“So who’s left?” I whisper to Niall.

“Louis and Clark,”

“Should we wait here or find them?”

“How about you stay and I go?” He whispers back at me.

“Are you saying I’m not good enough to go out?” I raise my eyebrow.

I may not be the best at paintballing, but if I needed to, I would eventually hit someone. And if I didn’t hit them then Niall would so I guess I would still be living anyways. And I would definitely be able to hit Clark, he’s such a girl.

“Well…”

“I’ll prove you wrong, Horan.” I say before jumping out of the bush. No one was around so I didn’t have to worry about getting shot the second I came out of hiding.

“Just don’t get shot, alright?” He says, walking alongside me. Out of nowhere, I see a paintball making its way towards me. I jump out of the way just in time and aim towards where it came from, I see Niall do the same through the corner of my eye. My eyes focus on the spot until I see a glint of silver. I press down on the trigger and wait to see what happens.

“I got beat by a fucking girl!” Clark screams. I give Niall the ‘I told you so’ look before leading him towards where Clark was.

“Do you know where Louis is?” I ask him. All of a sudden, I feel something hit my back.

“Shit,” I say under my breath before turning around to see Louis dancing around. He hasn’t noticed Niall yet since he’s been hiding since we’ve left the bush while I’m always wide open. I see Louis get shot, laughing when he immediately frowns and looks down at his shoulder where he was shot.

“Dang it…” He whines before throwing the gun to the ground. Of course, Niall won meaning that I won as well since we are a team.     

“I told you I’d win!” I shouted at Niall, doing a little happy dance.
